Tras su formación, Hastings se sumergió en el mundo del emprendimiento, fundando Pure Software, una empresa que se convirtió en un éxito en el mercado del software de gestión de calidad.

Netflix rápidamente se hizo popular y ofrecía a sus suscriptores una amplia biblioteca de películas y series a un precio asequible.

Download or read book Vlad written by Carlos Fuentes and published by Dalkey Archive Press. This book was released on 2012-07-18 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where, Carlos Fuentes asks, is a modern-day vampire to roost? Why not Mexico City, populated by ten million blood sausages (that is, people), and a police force who won’t mind a few disappearances? “Vlad” is Vlad the Impaler, of course, whose mythic cruelty was an inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula. In this sly sequel, Vlad really is undead: dispossessed after centuries of mayhem by Eastern European wars and rampant blood shortages. More than a postmodern riff on “the vampire craze,” Vlad is also an anatomy of the Mexican bourgeoisie, as well as our culture’s ways of dealing with death. For—as in Dracula—Vlad has need of both a lawyer and a real-estate agent in order to establish his new kingdom, and Yves Navarro and his wife Asunción fit the bill nicely. Having recently lost a son, might they not welcome the chance to see their remaining child live forever? More importantly, are the pleasures of middle-class life enough to keep one from joining the legions of the damned?
Download or read book Zero Frequency written by Mabel Katz and published by . This book was released on 2020-05 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are living in a time when many people are feeling the weight of the world on their shoulders, in the form of global and personal stress--financial challenges, illness, loneliness, depression, and lack of purpose. "Zero Frequency", by Mabel Katz, is an illuminating book that offers all struggling citizens of this planet a path out of turmoil and towards a life of happiness, peace, and abundance. As a lifelong practitioner and leading authority on Ho'oponopono, the ancient Hawaiian art of problem-solving, Mabel Katz's new book presents wisdom in a more practical and modern way--one that simultaneously speaks to the mind and heart, while also cutting through many of the mind traps and illusions that prevent us from experiencing truth. In this book, you will come to understand that "Zero Frequency" is a direct pipeline back to who we are--to our true essence. "Zero Frequency" is also a suspension of mind and thought that would allow us to return to the fullness of the Present Moment. Mabel calls this a return to our natural state of Zero--the limitless state that comes when we live in the Now--present, conscious, free of judgment--allowing our hearts to open to the wisdom that already lives within each of us. This book will lay down a concrete path to help its readers wake up and realize their potential. It is a book that is written with the unwavering belief that the more we help (and heal) ourselves, the more we help (and heal) the planet. Living from who we are is at the core of "Zero Frequency", a combination of gratitude, letting go, and practicing peace. "Zero Frequency" is like returning to our childhood, and the joy and innocence we have lost as time and age have buried who we are. Rediscovering this part of ourselves--our true self--is the pathway back to opening our hearts to abundance, peace, and joy. It is where all the answers to life's problems will be found. It is the heart and soul of "Zero Frequency".--Publisher.

Download or read book That Will Never Work written by Marc Randolph and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of Phil Knight's Shoe Dog comes the incredible untold story of how Netflix went from concept to company-all revealed by co-founder and first CEO Marc Randolph. Once upon a time, brick-and-mortar video stores were king. Late fees were ubiquitous, video-streaming unheard was of, and widespread DVD adoption seemed about as imminent as flying cars. Indeed, these were the widely accepted laws of the land in 1997, when Marc Randolph had an idea. It was a simple thought—leveraging the internet to rent movies—and was just one of many more and far worse proposals, like personalized baseball bats and a shampoo delivery service, that Randolph would pitch to his business partner, Reed Hastings, on their commute to work each morning. But Hastings was intrigued, and the pair—with Hastings as the primary investor and Randolph as the CEO—founded a company. Now with over 150 million subscribers, Netflix's triumph feels inevitable, but the twenty first century's most disruptive start up began with few believers and calamity at every turn. From having to pitch his own mother on being an early investor, to the motel conference room that served as a first office, to server crashes on launch day, to the now-infamous meeting when Netflix brass pitched Blockbuster to acquire them, Marc Randolph's transformational journey exemplifies how anyone with grit, gut instincts, and determination can change the world—even with an idea that many think will never work. What emerges, though, isn't just the inside story of one of the world's most iconic companies. Full of counter-intuitive concepts and written in binge-worthy prose, it answers some of our most fundamental questions about taking that leap of faith in business or in life: How do you begin? How do you weather disappointment and failure? How do you deal with success? What even is success? From idea generation to team building to knowing when it's time to let go, That Will Never Work is not only the ultimate follow-your-dreams parable, but also one of the most dramatic and insightful entrepreneurial stories of our time.

Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller Shortlisted for the 2020 Financial Times & McKinsey Business Book of the Year Netflix cofounder Reed Hastings reveals for the first time the unorthodox culture behind one of the world's most innovative, imaginative, and successful companies There has never before been a company like Netflix. It has led nothing short of a revolution in the entertainment industries, generating billions of dollars in annual revenue while capturing the imaginations of hundreds of millions of people in over 190 countries. But to reach these great heights, Netflix, which launched in 1998 as an online DVD rental service, has had to reinvent itself over and over again. This type of unprecedented flexibility would have been impossible without the counterintuitive and radical management principles that cofounder Reed Hastings established from the very beginning. Hastings rejected the conventional wisdom under which other companies operate and defied tradition to instead build a culture focused on freedom and responsibility, one that has allowed Netflix to adapt and innovate as the needs of its members and the world have simultaneously transformed. Hastings set new standards, valuing people over process, emphasizing innovation over efficiency, and giving employees context, not controls. At Netflix, there are no vacation or expense policies. At Netflix, adequate performance gets a generous severance, and hard work is irrelevant. At Netflix, you don’t try to please your boss, you give candid feedback instead. At Netflix, employees don’t need approval, and the company pays top of market. When Hastings and his team first devised these unorthodox principles, the implications were unknown and untested. But in just a short period, their methods led to unparalleled speed and boldness, as Netflix quickly became one of the most loved brands in the world. Here for the first time, Hastings and Erin Meyer, bestselling author of The Culture Map and one of the world’s most influential business thinkers, dive deep into the controversial ideologies at the heart of the Netflix psyche, which have generated results that are the envy of the business world. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with current and past Netflix employees from around the globe and never-before-told stories of trial and error from Hastings’s own career, No Rules Rules is the fascinating and untold account of the philosophy behind one of the world’s most innovative, imaginative, and successful companies.

Book excerpt: Netflix-CEO Reed Hastings over de Netflixcultuur en zijn sleutel tot succes 'Hastings en Meyer loodsen je langs een stappenplan om je bedrijf net zo innovatief te maken als de wereldwijde streamingdienst met 182 miljoen betalende abonnees.' •••• NRC Er is nooit eerder een bedrijf geweest als Netflix. Het zette de entertainmentindustrie radicaal op zijn kop, met jaarlijkse inkomsten van miljarden dollars en honderden miljoenen abonnees in meer dan 190 landen. Maar om zulke hoogtes te bereiken moest Netflix zichzelf constant opnieuw uitvinden. Dit lukte dankzij de baanbrekende bedrijfscultuur van CEO Reed Hastings. Netflix creëerde nieuwe bedrijfswaarden, waarbij de mensen centraal kwamen te staan en innovatie belangrijker was dan efficiëntie. Bij Netflix hanteren ze geen vakantiedagen of onkostenbeleid. Ze kijken niet naar hoe hard je werkt, maar naar wat je oplevert. En bij Netflix probeer je niet je baas te pleasen maar geef je ook je leidinggevenden de feedback die nodig is om het bedrijf vooruit te helpen. Voor de allereerste keer doet Reed Hastings nu een boekje open. Samen met professor aan INSEAD Business School Erin Meyer, duikt hij dieper in de spraakmakende bedrijfscultuur die medeverantwoordelijk is voor het succes. Op basis van honderden interviews met (oud-)Netflix-medewerkers en nooit eerder vertelde verhalen over Hastings’ eigen successen én fouten, onthult No rules rules de fascinerende filosofie achter de unieke Netflix-cultuur. 'De inzichten in dit boek zijn van onschatbare waarde voor iedereen die probeert een organisatiecultuur te creëren.' – Satya Nadella, CEO Microsoft 'De belangrijkste bedrijfsvraag van onze tijd is "hoe blijf je innoveren?" In dit baanbrekende boek geven Reed Hastings en Erin Meyer daarop een antwoord. Ze beschrijven een bewezen, systematische methode voor het bouwen, onderhouden en versterken van een zeer innovatieve internationale cultuur.' – Ben Horowitz, Amerikaans zakenman en investeerder
